I am deeply saddened that the United Nations has not
observed and investigated before haphazardly taking side on the issue of what
is Senator de Lima has dubbed as ‘Extra-judicial Killings’. She should not
consider the PNP’s statistics to be all EJKs because investigations have to be
conducted before branding. Here are among the most controversial cases that I
also condemned:
And the PNP are immediately acting upon those policemen who
were involved in such questionable ‘performance
of duties’ , in fact the two who has shot killed two arrested drug pushers
(father and son in Pasay) inside the precinct are relieved of duty.
News about Pasay Drug Pusher killed in precinct:
Update:
The policemen who got involved in the killing of a pusher
couple are also relieved as well as the others involved in their trade on that
same police station. They are alleged ninja
cops who were asking this couple to sell drugs for these corrupt
policemen. The said couple is asked to
remit drug money but just killed maybe to SILENCE them. That is of course not a
legitimate police operation but the PNP is prejudged as if they are condone. Taking the side of the pusher’s family, I
better not risk talking to another policeman on this issue, because we really do
not know who is good or bad at all unless the government has finished t task of
eliminating the ROTTEN tomatoes on the shelf.
Again, this is not an issue to be discussed outside the
country because the victims and the suspects are all Filipinos – and there is
NO CONDONATION happening, I am challenging a surveyor from the United Nations
to interview a million of my fellow-countrymen of what they can say about the
issue – if many distrust the government and think that the administration is
being UNFAIR then I suppose that is the only time they have to GET INVOLVE in
the issue.
I agree with the President’s opinion that before what is
prevalent in the daily newspapers broadsheets or tabloids here in the
Philippines are INNOCENTS being victimized by rapist, robber-killers,
carnapper-killers, taxi drivers robbed of just nearly a thousand-peso earnings
and killed, the villains who are believed to be drug users:
- A months-old baby raped. A parent killed by his addict
child, toddler raped – stabbed with a bottle in her vag---, an animal raped by
a man, teenager robbed of cellphone and killed in an instant
Why the UN and the CHR is not so loudly heard (if they meddle
on that unquestionable HUMAN RIGHTS violations – the right to live by the
innocent victims)? Now, it is the reverse. The addicts who have guns and knives
to kill their victims like butchering a pig or chicken are now on the
headlines…what needs help from the CHR? The INNOCENT victims whom they had
spared on meddling or those (legitimately) killed addicts and pushers in police
operations. Again, illegitimate police operations or abuse of authority are
exempted here, they are dealt with accordingly .
The NCRPO Chief Albayalde reminded us in an interview that
the moment suspects arrested are in precinct their handcuffs are removed to put
behind bars. In the circumstances, as we
all can see one of the suspects has a big body-built (tall and muscled) - I am
not implying that the two policemen are not capable of erring nor they are not
guilty BUT we have to listen and to look at both sides to give FAIR judgment.
NCRPO chief has reiterated once a policeman face an intimidating situation
wherein the villains are physically of advantage or in an encounter place where
the criminal is impossible to see hiding or the place is too dim) the tendency
is for him to guard his own life especially if they are to attack or go near
the target – there is no way the cop will know if there is any gun aiming at
him. Since drug suspects (especially the users) are not in the right frame of
mind, if we are in the policemen’s shoe and we have families to go home to after our life-threatening job –
who would not want to be sure of LIFE?!
The government is CLEAR on its advocacy against criminality
and corruption – corruption does not only encompass national coffers but also
power and authority corruption. Corruption means fraud, dishonesty and that may
pertain to performance of duty – whatever public post it is. A policeman is no exception. Especially those who are just liquidating
witnesses to their corruption. The two policemen who were said to be rude on a
baby and has killed two suspects in the police precinct are immediately
relieved. Again, we can not say that a scene is legitimate police operation or
not UNLESS investigated without bias. That is why the ‘Commission on Human Rights’ are not hindered on doing their part
to neutralize the situation. Those whose
families have been victims of abuse and overkill are freely approaching CHR.
It is clear that they are just among the Filipinos who lost
confidence in the government when they could have brought-up the issue to
higher police authority. Maybe it is also not necessary because the PNP is
automatically investigating every incident regardless of what is the offense
especially if it involves someone in authority.
I can somehow say that CHR is doing its job well BUT making it a topic to be discussed in the senate is a BIG waste of
time. The senate could have moved on
to another important matters (such as West Phil. Sea Issue/Development of
Renewable Power Resources to Solve Electricity Shortage/ Information Technology
Development (being our internet experience among the slowest and still not
nationwide coverage – this is true I am among the sufferers, I am kilometers
away from a strong internet signal- we could have patterned it from the world’s
fastest -Korea) to discuss because it is very obvious that proper agencies and
venues are already dealing with the issue. The media is also doing their part
that no abuse can prevail – they follow every incident and interview people who
witness it. What is there to lose if everybody is doing his rightful share?!
My suggestion to PNP, if there are mediamen who can and
would want or willing to wear protective gear such as bulletproof vests and
helmets, why not include them in your buy-bust or arrest operations? That is to
ensure the public and the unwanted meddlers
from outside the country you are just doing your job to protect the public and
of course yourself (how can you protect us if you can not take care of
yourself).
On the definition of
the Administrative Order 35:
DOJ's Admin Order 35 EJKs in Article I Definition of Terms
I t is very clear that criminals were not included in the
Order. Mentioned are all politically motivated assaults and the PRESUMED victims of such to reiterate are media practitioners, affiliate of labor, enviromental, agrarian causes etc.
Regardless of that fact, there is no need for their (the UN’s)
arbitration because our Government can
STILL handle the situation in the country. The ‘killings’ perpetrated by police officers are all investigated like
the normal SOPs when a dead body is found.
Of course, the government is not discounting the idea that some of the
deaths are not done in good faith –
Duterte Government is very much aware of that or the possibility of an
unscrupulous policemen that may be are members of the Drug syndicate or might
have taken an opportunity to abuse authority or power. BUT we must NOT overlook that if there are negatives,
there are also good side of it – the legitimate police operations or
encounters. As I heard the Police Chief
is saying on one of his speeches, the policemen
MUST LIVE – if they will confront a situation that their lives are at
stake, they must not allow it. Sad to say that around two hundred of them are
also killed in the Drug combat.
I wonder why when there are daily news of rape-slays, did
not the UN heard about the:
News about the Vizconde Massacre (whose story was filmed
twice). The father working abroad for
his family is robbed of his loved ones. His three daughters and wife were
killed by drug addicts in BF Homes. Here’s a video link:
In the recent news, a nurse was stabbed nineteen times to
death after stealing her valuables. One
of his relatives even spoke to the national tv telling those who wanted to
slow-down the government’s campaign against illegal drugs to think twice and
wished that may they or their loved ones NOT fall victim to such drug addicts
whose sanity has flown away because of drug addiction.
Can that be done by a sane person when one can kill with
just a stab or two if the motive is only robbery?! What proves that drug is
involved? The suspect who voluntarily surrendered admitted that he had been
into drugs a year ago BUT his drug test that day showed he is ‘positive’, proving he is not over it
yet.
Think twice before giving comments especially if you do not live here in my country, President Duterte is the only HOPE we have to keep us away from these villains. And thanks to European Union for fair judgment and not meddling on this matter.
